(Vote): Serral
(Vote): Zest

So did people mostly vote for Serral 'cos he was white?


Yes, that must be the case. Or maybe because Serral is the one who won the most titles in the last two years.

i'm with you, but maybe don't take every bait thrown around

he has a better micro than inno during macro phases for sure but Inno's macro is overall way crisper when he's on form.
Looking at inno's production bar is delightful when he's playing well, he hits every timing perfectly to maximize his powerspikes.

Is it just me or can you see extreme differences in multitasking between Inno and Maru?

Maru's always been way better at multitasking than Inno, even in 2013. Inno has always been more straightforward and singleminded. Maru dances around while Inno brute forces his way through.

That's because INno play is centered around powerspikes whereas Maru make stuff happen
Maru could probably play à la INno but not the opposite (except when INno was as young as Maru probably)

We can totally agree that they both excel in different aspect of macro and I'm totally onboard that Maru has a better multitask (ence a better micro/macro while fighting and a higher tempo) than Inno.

If you're a scrub imitating Inno is way more effective.

it's so satisfying watching Inno's production tab. almost every single time as soon as an attack or amour upgrade finishes he immediately queues the next one

I think that game really snowballed heavily from Rogue trying to surround that marine/medivac group early and lost like 15 lings for no reason.

Mary played really clinically from then on in though.

I've never seen Maru play super crisps games ala Inno to be fair. But I didn't watched every Maru game so I might have miss some.

I think it's super cool that the two best terran in the world for years have such different styles regarding core SC2 concepts. (tempo, micro vs macro priority).
Zest fanboy.

and he attacks at that same time. Anyone wanted to go to GM with Terran should copy that.

as a scrub, ive always loved to copy Polt's builds. Usually timing based on 2-3 bases relying on doing damage and playing ahead.
